The Platter Was Brass - Let the Music Play

Rainy evening and the blues jump out at me! I've heard that song before - but not drifting through shallow walls on Eutaw Street where the sidewalks Have been rolled up at five... Rainy evening and some sly musical note says "Close your umbrella and come on in, no need to walk alone!"... "No Fish Today" on the window... Is this some kind of freaked out restaurant? The window unveils no tale - The music wails on and with a coward's gait, I go in and there's nothing cooking but four dudes man! Cooking nothing but some jazz! They don't even know it's raining, Nodody's wet but me! The high notes of the trumpet dry me off and I'm not alone any more, that funky sounding jazz steals my blues away! "No Fish Today!" Serving nothing but soul food - Music Al A Carte! Midnite and the sun is out! Cynthia
